Free Video Production Challenge

November 15th, 2008

Video productions can consist of many different approaches to content. Here is an example that is a video as an end result but uses only static images edited in a slide show format with titles and credits text overlay.

We’ll use this scenario to look at ways to use simple and free material without even a web cam or camcorder to create, edit, and produce a promotional video.

Watch this video and see how video production can be approached with the most basic equipment.

The objective was to create a short video introducing the viewer to a fictional product. This is the first in a series of promotional videos using the same technique. i.e. collect a number of images and import them into a slide show, add a music background and overlay with titles.

The components used were:
PC
Microsoft Office PowerPoint
Microsoft Clip art
Microsoft MovieMaker
Royalty free music
YouTube hosting account
Internet connection
